• Controlling droplet cooling with micro/nano-structured surfaces 

      Auliano, Manuel (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:23, Doctoral thesis, 2019)
      Heat production accounts for most of the world's primary energy consumption. A better thermal management in several applications would result in a more e‑fficient and safer design. In this context, studying the cooling ...
    • Water droplet dynamics on a heated nanowire surface 

      Auliano, Manuel; Auliano, Damiano; Fernandino, Maria; Zhang, Peng; Dorao, Carlos Alberto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      When a liquid droplet is deposited onto a heated surface, evaporation occurs. If the temperature of the surface is sufficiently high, bubbles are released from activated nucleation sites, making the heat transfer more ...
